--  This package (and children) provide interface definitions to the standard

--  OS/2 Library. They are merely a translation of the various  files.
--  It is intended that higher level interfaces (with better names, and
--  stronger typing!) be built on top of this one for Ada (i.e. clean)

--  programming.
--  We have chosen to keep names, types, etc.  as close as possible to the
--  C definition to provide easier reference to the documentation. The main
--  exception is when a formal and its type (in C) differed only by the case
--  of letters (like in HMUX hmux). In this case, we have prepended "F_" to

--  the formal (i.e. F_hmux : HMUX).
